Once the mission begins head over to Pyongyang and make contact with the Chinese officer. This area is constantly patrolled by NK forces, so make sure to speak to him quickly or else he may be killed. After paying him the $50,000 bribe you will be given two Artillery Barrages (an upgraded artillery Strike), normally priced around $80,000 each.

The fight is going on east of the NK Artillery Base and west of Sariwon, with both locations featuring a path there. Both entrances are guarded by SK roadblocks, though the artillery base entrance features a K200 APC while the Sariwon entrance is only guarded by K966 Scouts. The area surrounding the battle is South Korean territory, meaning they will shot you on sight if not disguised, and both roadblocks have officers.

Once inside the base, if you do not care about the South Koreans liking you, simply hijack either a North Korean T-54 or one of the many South Korean K200 APCs and begin devastating the SK forces. The more you destroy, the more will show up. Eventually the K200s will begin dropping off soldiers with anti-tank missile launchers, so be careful as the K200 cannot stand much damage, and also make note of the infinitely respawning NK forces, which include RPG troops.

Alternatively, if you wish to stay in Buford's good books, you can sit back and watch the combatants duke it out. The NK T-54s will usually triumph over the K200s. Calling in airstrikes (including the artillery barrages given to you) from far away will also kill many SK units and if you're far enough, you will not lose standing with South Korea. If at any point there are no SK units in the base, and their strength still hasn't reach zero, destroy some of the units at the roadblocks, as they count towards their total strength.

The contract is worth $45,000, deduct $50,000 if the officer is bribed as part of the bonus condition. Completing this contract will make the BRDM Scout and Artillery Barrage (only if the bonus is completed) available for purchase from the Merchant of Menace. Intel regarding the location of the Three of Diamonds will also be given.

Completing this contract with the bonus will actually cost the player $5,000; as the contract value is $45,000 but the bonus costs the player $50,000 for the two artillery barrage support items. However, purchasing the bribe will later make the barrage avilable for purchase in the Merchant of Menace.

It is possible to complete this contract without killing or destroying South Korean forces. The NK forces at the garrison will eventually destroy the opposing SK forces. The SK forces have soldiers and K1025 Scouts, but the NK forces have soldiers, RPG soldiers and T-54 tanks.
